critical thinking is over. god is dead. i am free.
The overman/superman: The overman is the one who finds the truth in the eternal return and finds comfort in it. Since the overman is the one who is free from the restraints of moralistic oppression and finds value in life and its happening, there is no greater joy than being able to relive that joy for eternity. And the overman is able to live without regret and disappointment because he realizes that he is living out every possibility for eternity.
This course has been an enlightening experience. It has been a short period of grappling with very large ideas, unlike anything I have ever had to do before. As we have proceeded through the texts I have gradually enjoyed them more for several reasons.
I feel it is wilfully belittling to suggest that this cyclical process will mean the next great epoch will necessarily revert back to some previous one. More likely, it will be something completely new. Evolution is not a steady process, but a quasi linear process full of reversions loops and dead ends... this is the nature of everything.
one should not attempt to cajoil or influence through negative representation of an alternative viewpoint to that they hold. A balanced argumet should speak for itself.
